Done is by definition the direction to which gravity force pulls. Up is of course the opposite direction.

Totally wrong. Up and down are determined by the direction of the force of gravity...artificial or natural.

There is an up and down in space. "Down" is simply the direction gravity is pulling you, and "up" is just the opposite direction. Since there is gravity everywhere in space, there is also an up and down everywhere in space.

In sum, the connotation of up and down depends on the direction of the force of gravity. And that includes both natural and aratificial gravity.

There is no up or down if there is nothing that up or down can be related to. So by asking what's up or down implies there is something that up or down can be related to owei.

Hmm interesting question let me put it in simple terms for ya.

So simply "Down" is the direction gravity is pulling you, and "up" is just the opposite direction.

Get it.

There is no up and down in space. It’s kind of like when we look at a globe, If you are trying to get to Japan from the U.S., you can see it is both east and west of the U.S. It depends on the direction you want to travel. If you want to cross the Atlantic Ocean, you go east.

in space there is no up or down and not on earth either while you sit on a chair or are standing up you may think that up is above you and down is below you and we as simple people like to keep it like that for others like scientists and geologists it the magnetic north but that is only our north not even in space and who is to know maybe there is and up or down and the our universe and everything in it revolves around one humongous enormous massive celestial body we are unaware of maybe the magnetic north there is up

In space, there is no “up” or “down.” That can mess with the human brain and affect the way people move and think in space. An investigation on the International Space Station seeks to understand how the brain changes in space and ways to deal with those changes.

Not really. In so far as we are Eurocentric, the North Pole has been defined to be up. That defines "up" for the plane of the earth's orbit. By extension, that defines "up" for the sun's orbit around the centre of the Milky Way.

Why do things in space stay in space?

Things that 'stay' in space are in orbit round something. This means that they are actually falling!For instance if you throw a ball up it will fall back down. Now throw it up and away from you, it will go up and then come down but its path is a curve. The harder/faster you throw it the longer that curve.If it were possible to remove the air from around Earth (which slows things down) and you could throw something fast enough, then the curve of its path would match the curve of the earth, when this happens the object you throw will orbit the Earth - it will stay up!On Earth (in its atmosphere) you can never get something into orbit because the air slows the thing you throw down, which is why you have to launch the object up outside the atmosphere (into space) to get it to orbit. The launch rocket first goes UP then tilts over to accelerate the space ship to go round the Earth fast enough for it to stay in space.The space ship stays in space BY FALLING but CONTINUOUSLY MISSING the earth as to falls due to its forward momentum.
